Application led February 21, 1917. Serial No. 150,060.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, CARL A. Pnnnusnn,

. a citizen of the United States, residing at Wilson, in the county of Mississippi, State of Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Stovepipe-Hang-- ers; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others `skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to stovepipe hangers and has for .an object the provision of an article of this character which may be quickly and conveniently applied to and removed from a-stove pipe.

A further object of the invention is to provide a hanger which is simple, durable and eiicient, and may be manufactured and marketed at a relatively low cost.

With the above and other objects of similar nature in view, the 'invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangenient of parts set forth inand falling within a joint formed by the adjacent ends of two telescoping sections of a stove pipe with which my improved hanger is detachably associated and indicated generally by 6.

Specifically the hanger is formed prefer ably from a singlelen th of resilient wire that is looped intermediate its ends to provide a suspending eye 7. The resultant end portions 8 of the wire are then reversely bent circularly to form with the wire extending from the eye 7 and disposed in'overlapping relation, with the Wire, a ring, the extremities of the portions 8 terminating at diametrically opposite points of the ring thus produced in inwardly bent portions 9.

In use the telescoping portions of the pipe sections 5 having been previously provided at diametrically opposite points with registering apertures 10, the endportions 8 of the hanger are spread apart suliiciently to permit the hanger to sli freely on the pipe' and then released to c osely embrace the latter as shown most clearly in Fig. 2. When thus applied the inbent terminals 9 of the wires will be brought into registration with the .corresponding apertures 10 in the pipe sections and. may be readily pressed or insertedthrough said apertures to securely maintain the hanger in position and lock the pipe sections together. rlhe hanger is then in readiness to be suspended from the ceiling of the room by means of a suitable support 11,- and a wire 12, which is connected to the eye 7 and thenfcarried upwardly and secured to the support irany desired manner.

Whatll claim is A stove pipe hanger formed froml a `,single length of material looped intermediate lts ends to provide a suspending eye, the resultant end portions being reversely bent circularly from said eye and overlapped and having their terminals extending inwardly of the ring thus produced.

lin testimony whereof, I aiiix my signa? ture, inthe presence of two witnesses.
